...decline of Mr. Mencken is a sorry fallacy; one was an instrument fitted to an age which was impermanent, and has passed away, but the other has a task, and an activity, that cannot be so limited. H. L. M. will continue as our republic's most original and vital intellectual force; the Mercury is dead, but Mr. Mencken will survive, to use his last rugged phrase in the apt confounding of a dolt. POLLUX...
...murder and the intrigue of politics. DRURY LANE'S LAST CASE-Barnaby Ross-Viking ($2). All the Shakespearian lore of Drury Lane is necessary to explain the theft and return of a rare volume from a museum.

President Arthur Becket Lamb partook, and at which foreign guests of the Society expounded-Munich's Dr. Richard Willstätter on enzymes, Zurich's Dr. Paul Karrer on vitamins, Edinburgh...
...defense based its case on a single vital point: that Mrs. Lamson's death could have been caused by an accidental fall. Two doctors, one of whom was Blake Wilbur, testified that the wounds on her head might have resulted from a blow against the bathtub rim and faucets. Since the evidence against Lamson was purely circumstantial this point loomed important as the basis for "reasonable doubt." Desperately the prosecution sought to combat it. It called Dr. Arthur William Meyer, head of the Stanford anatomy department, who testified that Mrs. Lamson's scalp indicated that she had been...
